The reality star turned politician Papa Penny has shown great frustration after his lack of education became the center of attention as some now believe that this might be the thing that should disqualify him from being a political leader.
Like many political figures, the charismatic personality that is Penny has now been criticised for holding a position as the Member of Parliament when he has limited education to back why he qualifies for the role.
Political analyst Prince Mashele recently shared his views on the matter in a now-viral video where he highlighted that Penny is not the ideal candidate to be leading others.
“How could you have someone who hasn’t been to school in parliament? It doesn’t make sense. There must be no-one who hasn’t been to school in parliament. There has to be a baseline,” he explained.

He later also called Penny a fraud highlighting that the wealth he has accumulated came from accepting bribes and being a sellout.
In response, the politician expressed shock at Prince’s inability to support a fellow Tsonga brother.
“How can you do this to your own brother? Instead of building each other, you’re destroying us.
“You must know how to clean your underwear and your dirty mouth before you speak about me. You think you’re better than everyone in this county and can say anything you want about anybody. I’m not just anyone; this is Penny Penny.”
Meanwhile, some have criticised Prince’s views taking to X, Podcaster Penuel Mlotshwa wrote:
1. Very stupid of him to use Papa Penny as an example for his point, when he could’ve used John Steenhuizen.
2. Zuma was a very competent president without school. Many don’t like what he stood for & accuse his group of corruption, but this had nothing to do with school.
3. If…
